Nearly 70 years after the discovery of the world’s oldest biblical manuscripts, the Palestinian family who originally sold them to scholars and institutions is now quietly marketing the leftovers – fragments the family says it has kept in a Swiss safe deposit box.

Most of these scraps are barely postage-stamp-sized, and some are blank. But in the last few years, evangelical Christian collectors and institutions in the U.S. have forked out millions of dollars for a piece.

• The Jerusalem Post picked up on Dr. Qanta Ahmed visiting Israel right now, touting the country’s tolerance. If the name rings a bell, it’s because you may have seen one of her most widely-read, straight-from-the-hip articles a few months ago, Israel’s jihad is mine.

Israel does not fit the description of an apartheid state and instead, the media ignores the real problem, which is in the Muslim world, she said.

• Reuters takes an in-depth look at how’s Hamas is doing in the West Bank. Animosity and mistrust run deep.

• When it comes to the safety of journalism and free speech, Hezbollah sheds crocodile tears. Syrian journalist Yara Abbas, who worked for a state-owned station, was killed by rebels in Qusair. Meanwhile, Marwa Olleik, a 20 year-old journalism student, was chased out of her Southern Lebanese home after criticizing Hezbollah online. These two headlines highlight Hezbollah’s hypocrisy.

• Le Monde journalists who witnessed chemical weapons attacks in Syria put new pressure on Bashar Assad. They smuggled suspected “chemical weapons elements” out of Syria, which are now being tested in Paris. Reuters reports they also smuggled suspected “chemical weapons elements out of Syria, which are now being tested in Paris.

• Sen. John McCain sneaked into Syria for a surprise meeting with rebels. The Daily Beast got the scoop.

The fact that the Dead Sea scrolls were found on “Palestinian” land simply underlines for how many thousands of years this land has truly belonged to the Jews. If the Arabs will not give up an inch of “their” land, then why should the Jews? Perhaps the reason that the occupation is proving so difficult to end is because the world is trying to end the wrong occupation.

I’ve said it before, this body of people are soul-less – have no regard for history, their own or other civilations’, they relish only monetary gain, weapons or their own destructive powers. Creativity or sanctity of artifacts eludes their comprehension – to the extent where I almost feel sorry for them. As for the dead-sea scroll fragments, one can only hope that for such an exchange of large amounts of money, that the purchasers will give them a good home. The prayers in which these fragments have been saturated will always keep them alive.

It is counterproductive to write about ‘palestinians’. They are a contrived entity used only for political and anti-Jewish purposes. To speak about a ‘palestinian’ family that sold scraps of the Dead Sea scrolls is silly. These arabs are no different than the arabs living in the 22 states that they control.
